The Oregon Coast

Sunset on the Oregon coast

When we lived in Seattle, Washington, we always enjoyed visiting the
Oregon Coast. The Oregon coast is very different from what we have here
in North Carolina. There are sandy beaches.But many of them end at the base of high cliffs.
However, the biggest difference between the beaches in NC and Oregon is
that the water in Oregon is cold. There is no Gulf Stream to warm things
up.

Beach Oregon coast

In general, it appears that the Oregon coast is much less developed
than is the NC and most Southeastern US coasts. There are lots of
small towns separated by open areas.

There are several Oregon State Parks
on the coast.
When we lived in Seattle in my grad school days, we admired and envied the number
of Oregon State Parks and the facilities at the parks.
